INTERNET OF THINGS

Overview

The Internet of Things or IoT is all about the network of physical objects powered with embedded technology to sense and communicate the data about the internal or external environment. With 50 billion devices estimated to be connected by 2020, IoT has opened up infinite possibilities of real world applications. Mobiliya is ushering a new era for its customer through the Internet of Things. The power of IoT is bringing in operational efficiency, information for decision making and a connected ecosystem that is enabling each device, equipment or machinery to be connected to the processing power of the cloud.

The Mobiliya Edge

Mobiliya extends its existing set of niche engineering capabilities to enable IoT solution for its customers. These capabilities range from understanding of end points / sensors, embedded systems, ecosystem security, cloud integration, data analytics to building end user applications. Our experience in building IoT solutions span across industry segments like Healthcare, Energy, Agriculture, Consumer IoT, Automotive, and Industrial IoT. Some of these solutions for our customers support devices powered by Intel chipset platform. In Automotive segment specifically, Mobiliya has developed a solution that connects smartphone to the IVI device powered by Intel Atom processor.

Mobiliya is also part of leading IoT communities like LoRa Alliance, Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC), Intel IoT Solution Alliance (ISA) - which gives us an edge to gain deeper domain and specifications insights for seamless implementation of IoT solutions.

Security

We at Mobiliya analyze the customer requirements with respect to the 7 layers of IoT

Things

During analysing the first layer, we find out the kind of gateway there is, how the things are powered? What are the capabilities of these endpoint device? These sensors and end point devices allow us to define other protocols.

Connectivity

For connectivity related tasks, we define the best suitable protocols along with range of connectivity for the endpoint things. The connectivity needs to be secure over the network so that rouge attacks can be prevented. Some of the components that we work on are RS-232, ODB2, PLC, ModBus, Wireless, USB & SPI to name a few.

Global Infrastructure

The global infrastructure consists of multiple components like Cloud, Server, Communication layer, transport & link protocol layer. These combined ensures that the IoT infrastructure is robust. It is critical to have a predictive usage pattern for the IoT infrastructure. Some of the core expertise of Mobiliya lies in the cloud server architecture, Azure IoT, AWS, Power BI & Hybrid Cloud. For link protocol layer we have earlier worked on Wi-Fi 802.11, Bluetooth, BLE, ZigBee, AFid, Dash7, Z-Wave & CDMA to name a few. Other expertise in infrastructure include IPv4, IPv6, MQTT, CoAP, DDS6LoWPAN, XMPP, AMCP etc.

Data Ingestion

It is key for any IoT setup to define how the data is getting ingested. These systems need to ensure that the data is moving reliably. We define how the relevant data is captured, where is it stored & how is it organized. Some of the technologies that we have worked on are Scribe, RabbitMQ, Flume, Kafka, Storm, Thrift & Fluentd.

Data Analysis

As the data starts to get accumulated, it is very important to analyse and infer the key outcomes from it. The data abstraction function focuses on rendering data and its storage to enable easier comprehension of the data for the application. Some of the core technologies that we have worked on here are Hadoop, HBase, Cassandra & MongoDB

Applications

This is where all the information interpretations happen. At Mobiliya, we have extensive experience in creating endpoint applications for various verticals. We create applications for device management, mobile applications & business intelligence & analytics.

People & Process

For the key stakeholders in the IoT ecosystem, Mobiliya defines and delivers organizational hierarchy and processes. Identity management is key to this. Defining who gets access to what data allows effective governance of the IoT ecosystem.
